Discover the Wild Beauty of Takayna | Tarkine

Immerse yourself in the breathtaking Tarkine wilderness with this stunning hardcover photographic book from Australian Geographic. Nestled in the heart of Tasmania, Takayna is a realm where ancient myrtle and sassafras rainforests meet rugged, windswept coastlines, and Tasmanian devils roam freely among dunes.

Featuring five evocative essays by writers deeply connected to the region and a collection of never-before-seen images from Tasmania's finest wilderness photographers, this book captures the essence of Takayna like never before. The afterword, penned by renowned environmental advocate Dr. Bob Brown, underscores the urgency of protecting this extraordinary landscape.

For explorers, the book includes a detailed map and travel advice to help you experience Takayna firsthand. But more than a guide, this is a tribute to a wild place under threat—a call to action to preserve its beauty for generations to come.

A masterpiece for lovers of nature, photography and conservation, this book is both an inspiration and a rallying cry.
